Cucumber Water

-
Hyaluronic Acid
(Sodium Hyaluronate)In the serum. Draws water into the upper layers of skin, visibly plumping fine, dehydrated lines.

Liquorice Root
(Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract)In the serum. Calms the look of redness.
-
Bakuchiol
(Bakuchiol)The plant-based alternative to retinol, from the babchi plant. Well studied for the look of fine lines, without retinol's sun-sensitivity.
